Ahhhhh, my favorite time of year . . . mango time. Breakfast yesterday morning was 3 of the sweetest, ripest, juiciest, Julie mangoes. Yesterday afternoon's snack was 2 of the sweetest, ripest, juiciest, East Indian mangoes.

And the best news - I still have more ripening in my fruit basket as we speak!



What is your favorite type of mango? Mine is Julie with Keith and East Indian as close seconds.

Hi Rebecca,

That sure makes me miss home although we do have mangoes in our back yard in Florida. I remember those days in the hot classroom back home when Summer holidays were approaching. It use to be so hot after the lunch break that everyone use to say it was the mango heat.

Here's a little excerpt from one of our Jamaican folk songs....

" Mi nuh drink coffee tea mango time , cares how nice it may be , mango time.At the heat of the mango crop when the fruit dem a ripe an drop.
wash yuh pot tun it dung mango time."

Enjoy !!!!

O my god Rebecca those mangoes are mouth watering when i first saw the picture i keep on keep on swalllow my saliva

Julie of course!I also love my common mangoes.When i am home i have alot of boiled common mangoes,should try some.Dont forget your pimento leaves,it gives a lovely favour.DUCKY!

One of my all time favorite memories of my early days in Jamaica was when a group of co-workers spontaneously started singing with Mango Time. That singing was just as sweet as the fruit itself.

Thanks to Shawna, Ann Marie, Mitchy, and Michelle for the great memory!

To add to your story Eric, I remember aunty Shawna would bring buckets of mangoes to the school and everyone would dig in.... I love mangoes too bad I cant get any.

Rebecca you leave all the yardy them juling .This is my favorite time for vacation.I now have four trees bearing.I not allow to take back mangoes ,but its ok if you peel ,bag and freeze it.Mango apart of breakfast ,lunch and dinner mangoes only .My favorite desert ,mango cut in half remove the seed and fill with ice cream.I am now counting down the days -see you soon.

There are not many things better than eating a mango in the sea. Not only is the salt in the water a great addition to the taste, but you can be as messy as you want and then dunk your whole body in to clean off. Can't wait to do it again.

Mandy, do you have Shawna's email/phone? Send it to the webmaster@treasurebeach.net account if you do. I hope you're doing well, even without mangoes.

Robin mangoes no doubt. Memories? Mangoes and cake for lunch. Mangoes for dinner, juicy and dripping down the side of my hand. My poor frock tail and sleeves suffered.

Bombay, picked ripe.

Try blending mango flesh, soya/cow milk, nut butter, vanilla and ice. That will hold you from lunch to dinner.

would love some right now here in canada its 3.99 per lb. enjoy them

Mmm ... mangoes are one of my absolute favorite fruits! I remember standing by the pool at Sparkling Waters, looking up at the mango tree and thinking: "A mango tree in your yard? This is heaven!"

robin is my favorite mango i have not eaten a robin mango from in 1980.

Love mangoes of any kind.
Just a little advice to the people that has diabetes,please do not consume too many at one sitting.
